Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, but
DO NOT start the engine. Slowly depress and release the accelerator pedal fully three times within ten
seconds. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. If the change oil indicator illuminates the next time
the engine is started, repeat this procedure.

Turn key to ACC position, press gas pedal 3 times slowly within 10 seconds, turn key to OFF position, then start the ignition. It should reset the CPU.

Key forward to acc position (no starting), pump the accelerator fully 3 times within 10 seconds, key to lock (off)

The 2011 owners manual says to turn the ignition to ON, do the three presses then turn to LOCK.

All the manuals that describe how to reset the "change oil" indicator say to turn the key to the "ON" or "ON/RUN" position.
I don't know why the other posters say to turn the key to the "acc" position.

It works. I had the same problem over the weekend and was stumped on what to do. Thanks to the forum I did not have to run to the dealership for an easy fix.
